A galaxy-altering scientific breakthrough on Mars inspires treachery and revolution in this Nebula Award–winning science fiction epic. The child of one of the oldest, most revered family-corporate units on colonized Mars, Casseia Majumdar has spent her entire life in the tunnels that run beneath the surface of her homeworld. As a young college student in 2171, the fifty-third year of the Martian settlement, she experiences a profound political awakening, and her embrace of radical activism only intensifies following a failed diplomatic mission to Earth. As she rises up through the political ranks back on Mars—with tensions increasing between an oppressive “Mother Earth” and her rebellious “Red Rabbit” children—Casseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology alone will not save her planet and its people. But it is a staggering scientific discovery by Martian physicist Charles Franklin—Casseia’s mentor and former lover—that will ultimately reveal the depths of the perfidy of the “Terries,” forcing an imperiled civilization to alter forever the map of the universe. A two-time winner of the Nebula Award and a multiple Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee, the great Greg Bear has been called “the complete master of the grand scale sf novel” (Booklist). His Moving Mars is a masterful extrapolation of contentious humanity’s possible future and a modern classic to be shelved alongside the acclaimed Mars novels of Ben Bova and Kim Stanley Robinson. It’s “as good as hard science fiction gets” (The Oregonian).

8 books in catalog
Exploration of galactic conflict, biological transformations, and speculative technological futures defined hard science fiction across dozens of novels, including the cosmic catastrophe classic The Forge of God. Author Greg Bear gained prominence as both a fiction writer and an illustrator, crafting intricate speculative settings grounded in cutting-edge science and evolutionary biology. In addition to his published speculative fiction, he helped establish San Diego Comic-Con as one of its original co-founders.
Born in San Diego, California, in 1951, Gregory Dale Bear grew up in a naval family, traveling to Japan, the Philippines, and Alaska during his childhood. He began writing fiction at an early age, completing his first short story while living in Alaska at age ten and publishing his first short story in Famous Science Fiction at age sixteen. After graduating with a degree from San Diego State College in 1969, Bear worked as a teacher, bookstore employee, planetarium staffer, and part-time journalist for publications like the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union. Over the course of his career, he published more than 30 novels and over 50 books in total, served as President of the Science Fiction Writers of America from 1988 to 1990, and won two Hugo Awards and five Nebula Awards before his death in 2022. His novel The Unfinished Land was published in 2021.
Bear's speculative fiction is characterized by rigorous hard science, detailed world-building, and deep inquiries into technological impact on human culture and consciousness. His major themes include accelerated evolution, artificial realities, galactic destruction, and social organization. Works such as Blood Music, Darwin's Radio, and Darwin's Children investigate cellular mutation and human evolutionary leaps, while Queen of Angels examines consciousness, psychology, and cultural practices in a technologically advanced society. In epic space operas and hard science fiction like Moving Mars and Eon, he explored complex planetary engineering and artificial multiverses.
